Fix "cricket" in LH wingtip
Pressing on the bottom surface of the wingtip caused a loud clicking sound. This demanded explanation. The wingtip was removed and the cause investigated. After rectification, two additional fibreglass layers were added to a portion of the front underside surface more rigid.
This clicking was caused by this bulge in a single layer popping in and out, under pressure.
This and similar ripples was cut out and two layers of additional fibreglass weave were added to make the front underside region more rigid.
The metal strips were removed, cleaned up and reattached. It was realised that a longer rivet was needed in places. The measurements here are for the combined fibreglass and strip. The second rivet needed to be longer
